I feel all of this so deeply. Last year, my kids’ school had a threat made through social media. I found myself texting mom friends as we all tried to decide if we should send our kids to school the next day or not. This is not what motherhood was in previous generations. Such a heavy load modern mothers carry. Thank you for giving us a voice. 💙
Wow, that’s so scary. I’m glad you had other mom’s friends to text, but also so sad we have to live this week. Thanks for being here :) and for speaking out too!
This shooting is just so crushing, and I’m grateful for your honesty in helping us all process the heaviness. As we walked into our son’s pre-K open house Tuesday night, I found myself actually feeling relieved that his new school’s security system screens all visitors. And then, I was immediately sad that this is where we are as a society. Your words about having platforms to speak up really moved me—we have this responsibility to use that reach thoughtfully, especially when processing trauma that affects all our children.
I totally agree about the safety part, it makes me sad they have to go through the drills they do. I’m so glad you’re in this space and speaking about your experiences too!
It is sickening. I can’t imagine the fear and grief parents there have to go through. If I were there I’d seriously think of migrating. So sorry you have to worry about this.
I have yet to fully process this shooting. We drop off kids and hope they’re safe while we grind in a system not built for families in mind. You’re right, this is motherhood 2025. Keep writing girl! I will too!

It’s been such a challenging week. I feel like I still haven’t wrapped my head around all the news. And sadness. Glad you’re writing about it!
It has been. So much bad in top of bad. I’m glad you’re in this space writing too!

Thank you! It’s so tough to live in fear, I just know parents need to keep speaking up! I believe we can be the change.
